Moving furniture again...


Pam and I began the day with readying the 'new' living room for the furniture from the current living room. We decided to do this for a few reasons; one was that our power bill was out of this world, meaning that we had better find a way to heat the house more efficiently with the wood stove and in order to do that we had to keep the wood stove a lot hotter, which makes it impossible to stay in that room and watch TV or anything without melting into a pile of goo. We also needed to make room in the office for beds for Mum and Dad. So now we have a little library/sitting room where the wood stove is and a guest room. Well almost, we still have to set up the two beds, although they are in there just not put together yet. I think they will be quite comfy in there and will enjoy their visit with us. Only six more days!! We're finally getting around to hanging pictures and making this our home not just our house. We are enjoying this and although it has been pretty physical work, we're both happy with how things are coming together!

A sea of opportunity to initiate change



We've traversed the country and landed in beautiful Nova Scotia. Gorgeous scenery, and super people. We can see many opportunities here for us to grow, learn and prosper as a family. Ma & Pa Kettle will be joining us soon for a visit and we are excitedly awaiting their arrival.

On the 'pet front' there are several issues that I think would be interesting to encourage and perhaps enable change in the area. Such as a spay and neuter program, incorporating interest and functionality of the HRM dog licensing system/program, generating interest and excitement regarding the behaviour of dogs (The dominance theory is only a theory) training animal health professionals on safe pet handling and restraint techniques... the ideas are endless as is the need.
